Day one - 2015 Rolex Big Boat Series pressure-drop.us

2015 Rolex Big Boat Series – As the early season low pressure system that brought Northern California an early and much desired rain to help douse some very nasty fires began to exit stage right, contestants had to patiently wait for the normal high pressure system to rebuild off the coast.

It took a while and finally, closer to 1:00 PM vs the schedule 11:00 AM first gun, the stand in race guru's, The Reggios, Peter and Anderson pulled the trigger and the 2015 BBS was under way in 10-12 knots and brilliant sunshine!

The breeze built throughout the day, and, the conditions had gotten so nice, 15-20 in a building ebb, that the RC opted to run a second race, despite the afternoon running late.

16:00 starts in the BBS have not been seen since the late afternoon Wednesdays Businessmans afternoon classics, back in the 70's and early 80's when the BBS used to run for an entire week. Coincidentally those days were the last in which we saw Kialoa III, fresh off her Sydney Hobart and Fastnetvictories.
